I have a lap band procedure done from a different doctor but when I moved here I needed to maintain my fills and health care with the maintenance of the band . I found Dr. Richi's office to be helpful and Dr. Richi to be very knowledgable and supportive. Remember you're in charge of your own health and well-being and most doctors offices today extremely busy so remember to ask questions and seek answers and if you really feel passionate about requesting certain care .

I can see what the other reviewer said about his bedside manner and followup, as I have experienced the same thing but not on such a grand scale. What I really didn't enjoy was the inefficiency of his office staff. She couldn't complete my paperwork necessary for my FMLA, she neglected to tell me about a preop appointment I needed until last minute and she can't ever get my name right.

Dr Richi did emergency laproscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder. He was recommended by my PCP and I was completely satisfied. He explained the procedure, the post operative expectations and follow up. Able to shower in the morning I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend Dr Richi.

Does not do followup care! I have made a formal complaint with the Hospital he is associated with. he is a very rude doctor & seems to only care about getting more patients to increase his total numbers. Will NOT return phonecalls about medical questions in relation to the surgery & trying to be seen for follow up care. I have not seen Dr. Richi since my 1 month followup in February. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR!!!!!!!
